"Have you memorized all your lines, Lord Ask?"
Wilhelm had disappeared, leaving only his voice, echoing in the world as a narration.
"Hmm." Ask rolled his dead eyes.
I miscalculated. I should have brought Medea with me. With her psychic abilities, she could easily tear open this thought space. There was no need to play any tricks with Wilhelm.
Although according to the forum, Wilhelm had no ill will towards the players who entered the dungeon, but acting... was indeed much more troublesome than fighting monsters.
If it's not for the team... forget it, just bear with it for now.
"You should be more active," the narrator said. "You play the protagonist Solomon, a talented, active, passionate swordsman. You should never use such a weak voice."
"I'm not a passionate person," said Ask.
"There is no requirement that an actor's personality must be consistent with the role." The narrator said, "But you should at least pretend to be one, right? Sir, please, be more professional, okay?"
"Ah. Ah. Ah." Ask shouted helplessly a few times, "Okay, come on."
"Okay, the first scene is about you going out to fight bandits, and then you accidentally run into a besieged Vatican team. You arrive and rescue Miss Melanda."
"Meranda will be played by Mier, right?" Ask asked, "She's only in her teens, and she has elf blood. Is that okay?"
"No problem. Melanda in the script is a petite girl." The narrator said, "As for her bloodline, don't you think the elf priest is unexpectedly charming? I think the appropriate setting and adaptation will not damage the charm of the original work."
"I don't think so." Ask drew his sword, "Let's start the show."
"Okay," the narrator said, "Also, considering that you are all experienced professional mercenaries, why don't we have fake fights like in a stage play for the fighting scenes? Why don't we do something realistic?"
"You mean a real fight?" Ask thought this was a bit like a dungeon, "That's fine."
"I am very grateful for your understanding," the narrator said. "So, first scene, first section, start shooting!"
The narrator's voice disappeared, leaving Ask alone standing on the mountain path, surrounded by dense forest.
Then, the prelude performed by double bass, trombone, woodwind instruments and accordion sounded, exuding a cheerful and lively atmosphere.
This copy even comes with its own BGM... Ask thought helplessly, and then he heard the narrator start to recite the lines in a rhythmic manner.
As a short musical film adapted from a fairy tale, the structure of Wilhelm's play is relatively simple. The narrator briefly explains the setting to the non-existent audience:
The hero, Solomon, was raised in the mountains by a retired old knight, and thus he developed superb swordsmanship.
Later, the old knight passed away. He happened to hear that a dragon outside had stolen the empire's artifact, the Azure Sword, so he planned to go out and fight the dragon and take back the artifact.
In the first scene of the first section, Solomon, who was walking on a mountain road, happened to encounter a group of bandits.
As soon as the narrator finished speaking, several figures appeared in front. They were wearing turbans, carrying axes, with dark skin and ferocious expressions, exactly the classic image of gangsters in stage plays.
